History

Profile

We provide independent Market Research, Monitoring and Evaluation, Research and Devel-opment, Needs Assessment, Conflict Analysis, and Financial Verification services to interna-tional organisations and donor agencies. RMTeam has a large presence of highly qualified field re-searchers across the Middle East and North Africa, supported by development experts worldwide.

Our Approach

RMTeam aims for long-term impact. We assist clients in delivering projects while empowering people to reshape their own society in countries of conflict. We support international organizations and donor agencies to engage local actors and to align their organisational goals, programs, and services.

Social Responsibility

Social Change through strengthening local partners in countries of conflict

Monitoring and Evaluation

We provide M&E services with the highest standards of independence. Industry-leading data quality assurance protocols ensure deliverables are as reliable as they are rigorous.

Research and Development

RMTeam conducts thematic research in accordance with client needs, exploring topics from sexual gender-based violence to the uses of technology in humanitarian protection.

Need Assessment

We map and quantify communities and geographies to provide clients precise, actionable knowledge of lacking service provisions and humanitarian essentials in conflict-affected populations.

Conflict Analysis

RMTeam conducts a detailed reading of power shifts in countries of conflicts, movements, and civil society, taking into consideration the geopolitical aspect of each topic under in-depth analysis.

Financial Verification

We offer a broad range of verification services, from financial capacity assessments of potential local partners to expenditure review of projects in the field. RMTeam also helps implementers strengthen internal control systems and develop financial policies in order to build financial capacity.

Our Standards

Protocols and Ethics

RMTeam respects the rights, interests, and dignity of participants in conducting research, regardless of ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender, ability, age, orientation, language, or political affiliation. We obtain informed consent from participants, without coercion, prior to engaging in research. Parental or guardian consent must be obtained for participating minors.

Our researchers have an obligation to protect participants from any harm which might occur as a consequence of the research, physical, psychological, or otherwise. Ensuring and preserving anonymity is paramount.

Working in Conflict Sensitive Environments

All staff are trained in conflict-sensitive methods and understand the possible implications should they not adhere to data collection principles. Internal policies empower field researchers and staff to put their own security ahead of work deliverables.
Our Do No Harm approach is based on local understanding of research participants’ specific legal, political, and cultural situations, as well as the everyday challenges they face.

Safety, Security, and Risk Mitigation

Working in the Middle East and North Africa presents unique challenges and risks as security contexts are typically fluid. RMTeam is well positioned to manage these with vast experience in collecting responsive, extensive, and conflict-sensitive information. We monitor security conditions on a daily basis. We have developed rigorous Health, Safety, and Security policies and procedures that minimise the incremental risk that such work poses to staff in the field.

RMTeam’s field researchers use mobile devices, superior to manual recording, for data input. They are trained and experienced in flexible methods of data collection that do not sacrifice data integrity in various security contexts.

Community Engagement

RMTeam recruits well-known community members who possess a trustworthy reputation and technical experience. Our network of field researches have been recruited on the basis of familiarity with local languages and dialects.

We strive to collect data that accurately reflects communities’ true needs and opinions on the basis of proper sampling and our statistically rigorous best practices.

Training

RMTeam employs a multi-phase approach to training potential field researchers. We build capacity through an extensive curriculum, focused on key data collection skills, techniques, and tools. Newly recruited researches attend training sessions together and are subsequently tested on retention and performance.

Quality Assurance

Quality assurance begins with a full understanding of client needs. To serve those needs, we select the right team with the strongest combination of skills, experience, access, and expertise. We employ quality assurance procedures, before, during, and after collection to ensure the highest data quality.

Gender

RMTeam’s gender policy is rooted in protection for women and children. We lead by example in the communities in which we work with female and male researchers presenting themselves side by side. Moreover, RMTeam requires all researchers to undertake gender sensitivity training.
